Mimosa Students Get a Cultural Education

The Roswell school celebrated International Week last week.

Roswell’s kicked off its annual International Week celebration last Monday with a school-wide book parade.

Each grade level chose a continent and each class within the grade level chose a country to study. The parade was the official start of International Week as students marched through the halls displaying book banners depicting a story from their country and were dressed in native costumes or masks. 

Students and teachers demonstrate a lot of creativity in putting together the banners, costumes and flags that represent their country. Projects and other items were then displayed outside of their classrooms in preparation for International Night, when the community turned out to the school to sample international cuisine, admire the displays and purchase crafts made by the students.

Throughout the week, students not only learn about the world around them, they also gain an understanding and appreciation of diversity and cultures other than their own.
